You Are The Best,Lee Soon Shin
Joon Ho.
Soon Shin found out everything.
What?
About the bet you and I made.
What are you talking about?
How long did you think you could hide this from her?
She was going to find out about this eventually.
Isn't this good for you? You can't take care of her forever.
Let me go.
Don't go.
If you go, I'm not going to see you anymore.
Are you really quitting everything? Are you sure you won't regret this?
Yeah.
I'm a little disappointed in you.
I thought you were going to do something with your life this time.
I never saw you enjoy something this much.
I'm always like this, you know.
You should've finished what you decided to do this time.
Think about Mr. Shin, who supported you all this time.
He would be so disappointed in you.
What did he say when you said you're quitting?
[Mr. Shin]
Aren't you answering the phone?
Hello?
I'm in front of your house. I have something to tell you. Come out.
I have nothing to talk about.
It won't take that long. Just come out.
No. I'm not. Don't wait.
Are you going to sleep already?
Who was she on the phone with?
The person you are trying to call is currently unavailable.
Aunt Soon Shin, aren't you doing those weird things anymore?
What? Weird things?
For the music video, you pretended to be a snob laughing like this.
You ate food in a weird way too.
Woo Joo, she's not going to do that anymore.
She quit shooting music video.
Do you want me to show it to you again?
Ms. Woo Joo, oh my goodness, how could you eat tips of bean sprouts?
Be quiet. We're eating now.
Grandmother, I am eating quietly.
I'm kind of glad you quit. Honestly, I didn't want to see you do that anymore.
Really?
I'm kind of sad though. I had high hopes for that.
High hopes?
Did you see her doing something good for a month?
I knew this would happen.
The more I think about it, the more ridiculous it is.
Why did you make so big deal out of it if you are going to quit it?
I know, Grandma. I think it is ridiculous too.
You're all talk.
- Do you want more soup? - No, I'm fine.
Grandma, don't be so mad this early in the morning.
Grandma, I'll be good.
It's okay. It's almost done.
No.
What are you going to do for living now?
I'm going to get another job.
I'll get a nice job and make you happy.
Mom, do you want to go to a bathhouse?
A bathhouse?
My back is itchy. I'll also give you a massage.
Let's go.
- Hi. - Hello.
Are you grocery shopping?
Yeah, the ingredients for fruit juice were out.
This one is fresher.
This is good one.
Your husband is so nice.
He's not?
No, I'm not. No way.
I'm sorry.
Are you heading home? Let me help you.
- No, it's okay. - Let me help you.
- I'm really okay. - Let me carry one bag.
- I have to go. - Sure.
What's wrong with me?
Oh, hey.
What? What is it? What do you need?
Are you trying to make new bread?
No, I'm just making dough.
- Go get me a glass of water. - What?
Give me some water. Don't you understand? Water.
Sure. Okay.
What's this?
It's Lee Soon Shin's profile pictures and the original video for the audition.
Can I throw that away?
Do whatever you want.
I'll throw it away then.
Jo In Seong.
Yes?
Just leave it here.
You keep changing your mind. Are you on your period or something?
Why are you being so fickle these days?
Are you having some problems with your girlfriend?
My girlfriend? Shut up and go work.
Fine.
Hello, I'm Lee Soon Shin.
I still need to practice to become a good actress.
I'll try my best to become an actress who can win the hearts of viewers.
Thank you.
I saw Susie sitting in a shoe shine shop...
Left and back.
Why did you do this to me?
You looked after me. You gave me a pretty smile.
You worried if I skipped meal.
Why did you do that? That made my heart flutter.
I didn't know anything. I just believed how you acted.
I was so stupid.
What am I supposed to do now?
Mom.
This is so good.
Oh my goodness, look at your skin.
- It's really good. - You're lying.
Thank you for the massage.
You're welcome.
Women these days only care about themselves, you know.
But she was being so polite and gave me a good massage.
I'm a strong woman, you know.
You have such a nice daughter.
Thank you again.
You got so skinny, Mom.
It's because I made you upset, isn't it?
You need to gain some weight.
Mom, I got scolded because I am fat.
- Who said that? - Mr. Shin...
I mean I'm so happy I don't have get scolded by him anymore.
I really am happy.
Not everybody can be an actress, Mom.
They all look fantastic and all but they can't eat what they want and shouldn't be fat.
I'm glad I quit. Don't you think so?
Even if your grandmother is being cranky and mean to you, just let it go.
I'm used to it, Mom.
But still...
What precognitive dream did you have when you had me?
What?
Well... I don't remember.
Well.
I knew it.
So I was born without a precognitive dream, wasn't I?
That's why I'm stupid.
Was Grandmother being mean to you when you had me?
Maybe that's why I'm so stupid.
I know what's wrong with me. I always get fooled.
If somebody is being nice to me, I believe everything he says.
And I do everything I can do for him.
Thank you for not abandoning your stupid daughter, Mom.
Boss?
Hello, Mrs. Lee.
What are you doing here?
I came to take Soon Shin to work.
Pardon?
She didn't listen to me even though I begged her to come back to work.
My restaurant doesn't go well without her.
Mom, do you want to go in?
Sure.
[Lee Soon Shin]
Did you have a good rest?
Yes, I'm resting for a while.
Then can you come to work again?
I mean, you don't have to quit working at the restaurant.
Other co-workers want you to work with you again. They asked me to bring you back.
Thank you, Boss.
Can't you work for a while?
If you really don't want to work, then can you work until I hire somebody?
I'll think about it.
I'm sorry, Boss.
What are you doing here?
I came to see Soon Shin.
Can we talk for a second?
I'm busy. I have to go home.
It won't take long.
I'll call you later, Boss.
Okay.
I said it won't take long.
Hey. What's the matter with you?
It's none of your business. Follow me.
Let's have a seat here.
Can you please sit here?
What's this about?
Um... The other day, I was...
I mean...
If there's nothing to talk about, I'll go.
You're as thick as two short planks!
Fine. I... I did make a bet over you.
So what? I'm sorry.
But you said you wanted to be an actress.
Then you should just say 'thank you' and do it. What's wrong?
You're right. I should've just said thank you and kept doing it.
You tried so hard to make me Cinderella.
I hated my life because it's so boring and puny.
Thank you making a bet over me.
Just like you said, I won the lottery.
Then what's the problem?
I have emotions.
Even if I'm stupid, I do have emotions.
I do get hurt.
Please don't come find me like this.
I don't want to see you.
Excuse me...
Did you come back from the bathhouse?
Who is he? Is he someone you know?
No.
I think I've seen him before.
Where do you think you are going? Are you crazy?
- You're insane. - Get off.
I'm not letting you go inside.
Why did he come here?
Kyung Sook...
I mean, Song Mi Ryung's manager is my old friend from my hometown. He found me.
Why?
He asked about Soon Shin.
- Soon Shin? - Yeah.
He asked me if Chang Hoon raised her. I got a cold sweat all over my back.
Why is she looking for her daughter all of a sudden?
Why now?
Jeong Ae, don't worry.
- I made it clear. - Made it clear?
I made it clear saying that Chang Hoon sent her to an orphanage.
Come to a travel agency with me, Jeong Ae.
A travel agency? Why?
I heard you can buy a ticket to Hong Kong if you go to a travel agency.
Let's go buy it.
- Mother. - What's the matter with you?
Why are you being so careless about Hye Shin?
You cared so much about a non-blood-related daughter.
But why are you so calm about Hye Shin having gotten divorced?
If somebody saw it, they might think Hye Shin is your non-blood-related daughter.
No matter how hard I try, I don't understand.
Are you planning something in your mind?
What?
Are you planning to abandon your family and run away with another man or something?
Mother.
I'm sure you're out of your mind.
They say that you don't see a person's true colors until you've known them for long.
Do you know how you're being careless with your family after Chang Hoon died?
I don't think you know that.
- Are you that disappointed in me? - Yes!
I don't even want to live. I feel like I'm living in a bed of thorns now.
If Chang Hoon had been alive, I wouldn't be getting treated like this.
- I'm having a hard time, Mother. - Who said you aren't?
When Chang Hoon was alive, you never talked back to me.
Now you talk back at everything I say.
I should just die so you can have your life.
Mother...
You even paid back Soon Shin's down payment. You know we don't have enough money.
Have you tried to discuss about Soon Shin with me?
You think you're head of this family now?
Stop it. You don't know anything.
What do I not know?
You made all of us disappointed because of this non-blood-related daughter.
Soon Shin is Chang Hoon's daughter.
What are you saying?
She's Chang Hoon's daughter. Soon Shin is!
What are you talking about?
I want to be comforted. I want somebody to make me feel better.
After losing my parents, I treated you like my parent.
Why would I ignore you?
I only have you now. Can't you... Can't you please take care of me now?
Do you know how I live these days?
Is this really true? Who said that?
Mother, I think I'm living in Hell now.
Watching Soon Shin, I lived with ever so many feelings.
Please understand me, Mother.
Mom.
Grandma.
What's wrong with Mom?
What did you talk about with her?
I don't know.
You should stop coming to my restaurant.
What?
Soon Shin isn't coming here because she doesn't want to see you.
Did she say she doesn't want to see me?
You think she wants to see you?
But she wants to see you?
Think about what you did to her. You think she wants to see you?
I think I changed her mind. So don't even come near the restaurant.
You're forbidden from coming to this restaurant now.
For 100th episode of the show, we have two special guests.
They are Song Mi Ryung and Choi Yeon Ah. Please greet them with applause.
You two lighten this whole studio.
I heard you are like mother and daughter to each other.
Looking at you two like this, I think you two look a lot like each other.
- Don't you think so. - Yeah.
Really? It's an honor for me.
In the last drama, you guys played mother and daughter and that made you guys so close.
You haven't married or had a daughter. How was it for you to act as a mother?
An actress can't act based on her experience.
She needs to be able to do that if she's a good actress.
It was an honor for me to get a beautiful daughter like her.
You guys are so close as if you are really a mother and a daughter.
Yeah, she's really nice to me.
My mom died when I was little so I've always missed feelings of having a mom.
Meeting Mrs. Song was like the most blessed thing that ever happened to me.
That goes same for me too.
How are you doing with Mr. Shin? Are you two okay?
- Joon Ho is acting weird. - Why?
I think he's still obsessed with Soon Shin.
Leave him alone for a while. That's his strength and weakness.
He looks strong but he got soft mind inside.
He must feel sorry for her.
Really?
Yes. Let's go eat. I'm hungry.
Sure.
- Hi. - Hi.
Hello.
Mom, I have to take this call. Hello?
You two look so close as if you are really her mother.
Isn't my daughter so pretty?
By the way, don't you wonder about your real daughter, not the fake one?
What did you say?
A real daughter. You had a daughter a long time ago.
Would she be younger than Yeon Ah?
What did you just say?
No, no. Maybe I heard it wrong, you know.
- Mom, let's go. - I'll see you later then.
Mom?
Yes. Let's go.
Where have you been?
I went to take a walk around the neighborhood.
What have you been doing these days?
What? What's wrong?
What have you been doing when all the reporters know about it?
Did you meet somebody?
Reporter Park asked me about my daughter.
He was talking about a real daughter or something.
How did that bastard know about it?
Did he really?
You're acting so weird lately.
You whisper on the phone and go somewhere without telling me.
Tell me. What are you planning?
What do you mean?
I know you're planning something. What is it?
What's wrong with you? You're driving me nuts.
Are you saying I told him about it?
It's possible.
You were close with Reporter Park. You think I don't know you two met privately last time?
This is ridiculous.
Do you even know what I've been doing for you?
I'm working so hard to cover your past.
I searched every orphanage to find your daughter before Reporter Park finds her.
But how could you say that to me?
What?
You searched orphanages?
Yes.
So what happened?
I couldn't find her.
She's either dead or Chang Hoon put her up for adoption abroad or something.
I searched everywhere but I couldn't find her.
So stop worrying about it.
- Is that true? - Yes, it is.
You should appreciate me, not doubt me.
Oh my God, Doctor Park.
Hi.
Are you free now?
I'm busy now.
It won't take you long. Let's go drink some tea.
Um... I don't want you to do this anymore.
What's wrong with this?
I just want to pay for what you've done for...
It's okay. You don't have to do that.
Doctor Park...
Let me tell you this again. I do have a girlfriend.
I'm sorry but you aren't my type.
Did I say something?
If you keep doing this, I'll have to get mad at you.
I have a patient to take care of. I have to go now.
Doctor.
She's so pathetic.
- You wanted to see me? - Yes, have a seat.
- Do you... - Yes?
So you have a girlfriend?
Yes.
Have you been dating her for a long time?
No, it hasn't been long.
When are you free? I'd like to have dinner with you.
Dinner?
Yeah. Let's have dinner with me and my wife someday.
What do you say?
Sure. Let's do it.
Oh, Mrs. Park.
Who's that?
Are you Yoo Shin?
- Are you heading home? - Yeah.
I was delivering food.
I was wondering what kind of girl is wearing like that.
Why are you wearing that kind of short skirt?
Your panties might be showing.
And what is wrong with your shoes? I know you're short but those high heels are too high.
That's why you fell.
I'm not short, Mrs. Park.
Then why are you wearing those?
Did you wear it to check if you would fall in those shoes or not?
Can't you please dress neatly?
Don't you feel embarrassed in that skirt? Are you telling people to check out your thighs?
Mrs. Park.
This is nothing these days.
That is not nothing. You've got to be kidding me.
I'm telling you this because I treat you like my daughter.
Because you dress like this, weird guys are chasing you.
If you want to meet a great guy, dress more neatly. Understand?
What's wrong? Do you have an upset stomach?
No.
Wearing those high heels doesn't let your blood flow freely and that leads to an upset stomach.
Listen to me carefully, okay? You'll hurt yourself by dressing like that.
Do you want to get sick even before you get married?
Bye then.
'Mrs. Park, I'm not short.' 'Mrs. Park, this is nothing.'
She doesn't stop talking back. I don't know how she survives at work.
- Who? - I'm talking about Yoo Shin.
She wears really really short skirt. I was worried her underwear is showing.
I didn't know who was wearing that short skirt at first. It was Yoo Shin.
Wouldn't Jeong Ae say something about how she dresses?
She doesn't even have time for that.
Yeah, you're right.
But still... That would give her parents a bad reputation.
- I'm back. - Hi.
Your daughter does the same thing.
You!
What, Mom?
She's different from her. She's a beauty stylist.
What are you talking about?
Get home earlier! We live in a scary world now!
Do you even know what I've been doing for you? I'm working so hard to cover your past.
I searched every orphanage to find your daughter before Reporter Park finds her.
How could you say that to me?
I have an appointment with Soo Hee.
Let me go get a bottle of water.
[Lee Chang Hoon]
Why is he keeping this?
What is so embarrassing and what is it that you want to hide from everybody?
What is it that you don't want to lose?
That's not what you really want to know.
Your daughter.
The girl you gave birth to.
Don't you wonder where she is and how she's doing?
[Lee Soon Shin]
Lee Soon Shin.
1990.
Mi Ryung.
Soon Shin is...
I got those papers when I had to get Chang Hoon's family information.
Is that the only reason?
What else could there be?
Which orphanages did you search? Are you sure you searched everywhere?
- Yes, I am. - Tell me. You are hiding something from me.
Tell me everything you know.
I'm not hiding anything from you. Don't worry. There's nothing to hide from you.
There isn't. It's not what I think it is, right?
This doesn't make sense at all.
Chang Hoon told me he sent her to an orphanage.
It's not what I think, right?
I don't know. I'm so confused too.
Hey, who is this?
- Hi. - Are you going to work here again?
Are you coming back?
I'm working only until Boss hires a new waitress.
I'm sorry for being irresponsible.
If you know you were being irresponsible, why did you quit?
Just keep working here with us. Are you afraid that KOK's fan club will come again?
Then I'll beat them up.
Don't be afraid.
Boss.
I'm here.
Hey.
Thank you for coming.
I'll go change my clothes.
Yeon Ah.
- What do you think of this? - Oh, that's pretty. That looks good on you.
We have the same taste. I also thought it's pretty.
- Really? - Pick one. It's a gift for you.
It's okay. I should buy you one.
Since I'm your fan, I'll buy one for you.
Hey, Mi Ryung. You're late.
Hi.
Have a seat.
There was a traffic jam on the way.
Yeon Ah, let's go have a nice dinner tonight.
Sure.
How about we go to a restaurant that's located under Joon Ho's agency?
They make a good pasta and it's a good place for people like me and Mom to go.
Mi Ryung?
You don't look so good.
What?
I'm okay.
- Hi. - Hi.
Can you tell Young Hoon...
that I brought very special guests so make the most delicious food he can make?
Okay, I will.
Let's invite Joon Ho too. Are you okay with that?
I'm totally fine with that but Joon Ho won't come if he knows I'm here.
Don't tell him I'm here.
You're right. He probably won't come.
I do have emotions.
Even if I'm stupid, I do have emotions.
My feelings can get hurt too.
Hey, Mom. What's up?
I'm at the restaurant under your office. Want to come?
What?
He said he'll come down.
Okay.
You're really pretty. That's why you're a top star.
Thank you.
Oh my goodness, she still works here?
Who? Who?
The girl over there.
Your student is over there, Teacher Song.
Didn't she become an actress yet? I thought she would be famous in a blink.
She quit. She canceled the contract and gave up.
Really? I knew it!
Is she the one that took the acting class with you?
Yeah, Joon Ho supported her so much for some reason.
Lee Soon Shin.
Wow, that's a unique stage name.
- It's not a stage name. - Really?
- Yeah. - Teacher.
Yes?
What are you staring at?
It's nothing.
Excuse me. I'll be back.
Teacher.
- Hey. - Hi.
Hi. I came here for lunch.
How have you been?
Good.
Bye then.
Wait, Soon Shin.
Yes?
When is your birthday?
Pardon?
My birthday?
Your date of birth.
July 30, 1990.
I see.
You said you were born in the neighborhood, right?
You said you were born and grew up there.
Why do you ask?
Soon Shin, come help us.
I have to go.
Joon Ho is here.
Joon Ho.
It's good to see you here.
What are you doing here?
I was invited to here. Why? Are you comfortable eating with me?
Hey, why are you being mean to her? We're Yeon Ah's fan club.
She's right.
I have to go back to work. I was in the middle of a meeting.
Really? Aren't you eating lunch?
I have an appointment.
Enjoy the food here. Bye.
He's so cold.
Mi Ryung, you don't look so well. Are you okay?
You look so pale now.
No, I don't.
Are you feeling not good? I think you worked too much yesterday.
No, I'm okay.
Mr. Shin, Director Park is here.
Hi, Director Park. Have a seat here.
- Mr. Shin... - I'm so sorry about the music video.
It's okay.
But can't you change Soon Shin's mind?
Director Park, it's all over.
That's so sad. She was very charming.
Pardon?
Take a look at this.
She isn't that pretty but she has her own uniqueness that attracts people.
Does she?
I think she really does after hearing what you said.
Come on. Look.
She looks like little Song Mi Ryung, you know.
I mean she has this charm that attracts viewers. She might become a great star.
It's just too sad.
You really can't change her mind?
I'm so happy these days.
This is my first time actually enjoying something I like.
It's so fun and interesting.
Thank you for making me feel this.
Mr. Shin.
If somebody saw this, they might think you won the best actress award.
I attribute this honor to Mr. Shin.
Without Mr. Shin, I wouldn't have become who I am now.
This is such a beautiful night.
Woo Joo, is that enough for you?
Don't eat mine.
I'm not letting you eat mine.
Are you not on a diet anymore?
Are you kidding me? I'm so skinny. I don't need a diet.
Isn't he the one who came to our house in the middle of night?
Here.
Take it.
- What's this? - It's your profile pictures and the audition tape.
It's yours. I think you should have it.
Whatever I say to you would be an excuse.
But I really wanted to make you a great actress with all my heart.
You probably won't believe whatever I say but it's true.
Contact me whenever you want to do this again.
I'll be waiting.
I still need to practice to become a good actress.
I'll try my best to become an actress who can win the hearts of viewers.
Thank you.
You looked after me. You gave me a pretty smile.
You worried if I skipped meal.
How can this happen to my family?
Jeong Ae.
Who is it? Who is it?
What?
Who is Soon Shin's real mother? Who is it?
Why is that important?
Mother, I don't want to know about it now.
Soon Shin is my daughter. I raised her.
I don't care whose her real parents are. She is my daughter and she will be.
- Jeong Ae. - Mother, just forget about it.
I want to let it go now.
- Teacher. - You should leave.
- Please let me. - No. Just leave.
All the things you said... You said I'm talented and have potential.
Did you make that up because Mr. Shin asked you to do it?
I'm sorry.
You wounded my daughter's heart and that's what you said to me?
You're saying that just because you don't have a daughter. You've never had a child.
Don't live like that. You'll be punished.
